Hi,
It seems I have issues with H310 flashed in IT mode with LSI9211-8i firmware.
Out of 3 SAS drives (6TB each, Dell Enterprise, some toshiba and Exos) I tried to use (1 new, 2 pre-used but confirmed good) I've had 2 that were showing disk size of 0 bytes on Storage/Disks page, and one (from toshiba), that showed 1.82TB instead of ~5.5TB my other drives are showing.
On 0 B drives wipe from Freenas returned an error (operation not permitted), wiping 1.82TB drive succeeded, but didn't affect disk size. Tried creating pool with 1.82TB drive and destroying it - didn't help either. I also did full format using DBAN on each disk - but nothing changed. Sector sizes reported were 512 bytes for each disk.
I've tried using other port on LSI9211-8i, moved it to other PCI-E port, checked firmware version (20.07.00.00, most recent I believe) etc. Tried also a number of different approaches towards formatting it in freenas (gpart, dd etc.), but none of those helped. My 6TB SATA drives work fine with that HBA. Also tried disconnecting all drives from the system, keeping only one of the problematic drives connected, rebooting etc.
Any ideas what might be wrong? I'm afraid I don't have any other hardware compatible with SAS drives. I was thinking maybe something is wrong with HBA, but with SAS drives it works OK.
My setup is in my signature below.
